90%
‘90%’ captures the pressures society places on women, through the intention of defining beauty. The title is inspired by the statistic: ‘‘More than 90 percent of girls, 15 to 17 years old, want to change at least one aspect of their physical appearance.’’ - Armstrong, 2011. As a young woman pursuing a career in the beauty industry, I have a strong passion for beauty, but have experienced such pressures. ‘90%’ uncovers the rooted problem of beauty ideals that challenge women, particularly young women like myself, that we must alter who we are until we fit the short-lived trends. But, through each tear, my project peels back the layers of what the mask represents, embracing beauty on our own terms.
